Schneider (knee) is expected to be available Thursday, and coach John Hynes indicated Wednesday that he will determine a starter after Thursday's morning skate, Tom Gulitti of the Record reports.

Analysis:

"Whether I play [Thursday] or Saturday we still haven't determined, but I believe I should be available for both games," Schneider said. If the news of Scott Wedgewood's impending return to the minors wasn't enough to suggest he's finally healthy, these statements following Wednesday's practice should. The team should activate him from injured reserve in advance of Thursday's contest, so expect another update when that occurs.
